Got a flat tire today. Replace the Pirelli or upgrade to new set?

I am looking at getting those same tires for my CG BL. How do you like them? I drive on road mostly, so my main concern is on road handling, acceleration, drive feel etc.
I love them. Drive great. Handling is great. They handle heavy rain and water like a champ. I’m mostly on road driving as well and the bulk is highway. Couldn’t be happier. My wife has the stock Falkens and those seem a little peppier just because of the additional weight, but I wouldn’t go back to any other tire after these. Completely satisfied.

Ok great, thanks for the input. I am glad you mentioned the optional stock Falkens because that's what I currently have on. I would be upgrading to the bigger tire for aggressive look and to fill the wheel well. I am torn though because the Falkens drive really well. So, in your opinion, having driven both, which do you like better? Does the 245 Toyos make the ride feel slower?

Thanks!

I really prefer the Toyos. But I do feel like my wife’s is a tad quicker on the start. Could just be my perception though. It’s hard to tell. Toyos look and feel better to me.

Really appreciate the input, helps a lot with my decision. Last question, any issue with rubbing?

No rubbing. And the spare will fit in the back if you get a 5th for a spare. Just take out the foam padding that is underneath the spare Pirelli.

Just realized I forgot to ask about road noise. Is there any with the Toyos?
